Currently I'm using an ATI 3D Charger card (8MB). Using mplayer on a
1.1GHz Athlon, full screen divx movies can't be played without the
framedrop option, and although it's not severe framedropping, I've had
at least one other person laugh at how jittery it is.

I've also got a general driver question. In another post above it's
mentioned that the X drivers for nvidia cards only support 2D
acceleration, and that I'd have to use nvidia's binary drivers to get 3D
acceleration (I'd like to avoid binary only drivers). Do X's drivers for
other chip makers support 3D acceleration?
